It has occurred to me that I have been neglecting my "public" blog. I have been pretty wrapped up in my angsty personal writing for awhile. So, as of today, I will make an effort to visit here at least 3 times a week.  It's nice to be able to just talk to whomever happens along!

Today I took a personal day from work and just relaxed all afternoon (ok that was after bathing the dog, doing laundy, and taking him to the vet for a nail trim). My son dropped by for a little visit. It was nice to see him. While he was here his sister called from Hawaii. She wanted to tell us that Justin has been stop-lossed and will be shipping out to Iraq for a 4th tour in March. That means I am going to have to go to Hawaii if I want to see the baby. So I guess I will be shopping plane tickets. OMG I hate to fly! But it will be worth it once I am there .
